A TELLING ARGUMENT.

The Financial and Mining Record OF the
10th inst. meets an objection raised by
bankers, to the standard siiverdollar, with
al argument as telling as it is incontro.
vertible. The Record which, by the way,
is the best informed journal in the country
on the silver question, says: 1.-The Chief
objection raised by our banker friends to
the recognition of the silver dollar OF 412h
grains as full legal tender money equivalent
to rs $40 grains OF gold of same ~fineness,
has been that it must inevitably drive gold
out OF the country at al carry day. And
this has been strenuously maintained in
the face of the fact that, during the ten
years ended with 1884, out of
a gold coinage Of 81, $685. OO, 900
by the States OF the commercial
world, more than so per cent. of
that vast amount of gold was coined by
States that used silver concurrently with
gold at q valuation to silver coined at
which that in our dollar would be worth
1O3 cents. Nor is this all, France, IN the
same decade, while possessing a silver cir
culatino Of $14 per head, has not lost but
gained 1868 ,833, 1875 in gold by exports of
the metal to that amount, while. Great
Britain, under her system of gold mono
metalism. gained during the same period,
but $21, OF, ZOO. Moreover, during the
France converted into coin or to
money uses $171, 600, 900 Of the gold she
while Great Britain thus applied
only 81. 900 600. Or barely $1,000, 600
more than the little bi-netaIiic State of
Belgium, with a population OF less than
,ix million souls"

ACCIDENT.
A Man Killed on the Montana Union
While ShOveling Snow.

The Helena Herald OF Wednesday eve
ming gives the following particulars OF an
accident on the Montana Union:
This afternoon, as the Montana Union
train from Butte was coming down the
grade near Butler Cornelius Moran, n of
a gang OF men employed to shovel snow
from the track was struck by the engine
with fatal results. As we hear the story
tho man was at work in a cut and did not
see the train until it was close to him.
There was barely room for the passage of
the cars, and the sides OF the cut were SO
high and steep that he was unable to get
out. As the train neared him he stepped
against the side of the cut and Rugged the
bank. The engine passed him all right, but
the steps OF a forward car struck him on
the hip, dragging him under the cars. The
wheels passed over his body, severing both
legs real the trunk. The train was stopped
and the man taken aboard the baggage car.
but he died shortly after the accident. The
were taken off at the depot, and
Coroner Morris wal summoned to investi-
gate the fair.

in Butte fails to bring to light any fur

1t is rumored that the President is

judging, at least during the present admin

At home in the Speakers chair, and proba-
bly, prefers that place to an executive Office.
1t il a mistake, however. to say that an

Carlisle was elected to his present office he

OF tho administration in financial matters
has differed from that which the Speaker
would have pursued, and Mr.. Cleveland ia
not the man to abandon anything which

will continue to be directed according IN
New York views, and that Mr.. Carlisle NJ
anyone else holding his views on the al, ver

ton. Thu young lady objected and brought
the matter into court in q suit to enjoin

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.

After an interesting debate over the
Retaliatory Fishery Bill it passed 1ne
| House the 28d inst. in an amended form,
| with only one dissenting vote. 1t will now
70 to the Senate for the concurrence OF that
body in the amendment. II the Senate
agree to it the bill will become a law OF the
land, as the President, without question.
| will sign it. OF course another outcry will
be heard from Canada. But just why that
country should look for anything more
favorable to their view of the question it is
hard to conceive. Their side is one OF sim.
ply selfshness and their demands unrea-
sonable.
Here is the matter in q nutshell: In the
efforts tkat have been made to overreach
the Yankee fishermen, advantage has been
taken of every feature in the Canadian
laws that could be brought forward to
make a point, and in many cases the mari
time laws have been severely strained.
particularly is this true as regards the
three-mile limit: which was construed to
extend from extreme point to extreme
point instead of following the confguration
Of the coast. In the enforcement OF their
claims American sailors were subjected to
many indignities, even to deprivation
OF their liberty and imprisonment in jail.
In the settlement of this important ques-
ton Congress has told Canada that the
rights OF American fishermen must be OBJ
served, and as Representative Rice said.
"the national honor must be protected"
To effect this it is not proposed to raise ar
mics and fight Canada or Great Britain.
Canada will be brought to terms through
other means. Upon the first ~indignity Of
fered to American fishermen by OBTAINING |
their vessels or seizing them without cause,
the President is authorized to place an emr
barge upon the importation Of Canadian
and to prevent the running of
Canadian locomotives and cars into this
country. This is the retaliation the bill
proposes to inflict. 1t is a sensible propo-
sition, and will bring our Canadian breth-
rem to terms. With their market cut off
heir productions will so lessen in value as
10 make Improbable many branches OF
industry now pursued in that country.
the American market many Ca.
productions would rot on the pro-
hands. With this alternative in
rev it is not probable Canadian authori.
les would unjustly or illegally interfere
nth American fishermen.

Coal at the Anaconda Shelter.

Yesterdays Anaconda Review says: Tie
Anaconda Company are in receipt OF two
carloads of coal from the Cascade division
OF the Northern Pacific, which they are
testing with reference to using it in the
future whenever they cannot get a salts.
factory amount from Rock Springs. If this
coalshould proveof asufficiently good quail
ity to be of use in the smelter it makes a
neN epoch in the history of Anaconda
Col. Broadwater, Of Helena, states that
on and after the first of January, 1888,
the Montana Central will be prepared to
deliver coal at Anaconda in any quantity
from their mines at Great Falls. It is
therefore, doubtful if any combination
OF circumstances can ever arise in the
future that would compel the Anaconda to
shut down for a lack of coal. The trial OF
this coal from the Cascade division will be
made in a few days.
